This time, more than half it's source code was re-writen, making it faster and more agile, by removing some non-needed stuff, simplifying everything and, last but not least, using *threads* for the search and downloads!

The interface will not seem to block anymore - not a real problem, but nasty nevertheless, as it caused doubts of if it had locked or was just wating for something to happen. wink

The menus were cleaned, some new ones have been created - like showing the downloaded file info, for example - and a few more goodies

Image Downloader is a software tool which provides a simple means of searching and downloading photos according to a specified keyword.

Portability conveniences

The installation process is not a necessity as this utility is portable. This means that it is not going to add any new items to the Windows registry or hard drive without your approval, and it is not going to leave traces behind upon its removal.

Another important aspect you should take into consideration is that if you move the program files to an external data device, you make it possible to run Image Downloader on any computer you have access to by double-clicking the executable.

Settings to configure

This app enables you to search for items just by inputting key phrases and clicking the “Search” button. All results are going to be displayed in the main window as a list, with the detected URL. You should also know that previews are available in the main window.

The search can be stopped at any point, while it is possible to open any selected link in your default web browser with just a click of the button. Aside from that, you can save all search results to the disk, so that you can use them at a later date.

You should know that the picture download operation is automatic, yet you can input a minimum file size (expressed in KB), so as to refine the process.

Conclusion

All in all, Image Downloader proves to be a simple, yet useful piece of software, when it comes to downloading images according to a keyword. The response time is good, the computer’s performance is not going to be hampered and the interface is friendly to all users.
